Arch is good for a very specific kind of beginners. It's good for beginners that want to use Linux to tinker with their system, do weird shit and learn how shit works. Definitely not the 'classic' beginner that just want to quit Windows.

I really should find out for sure- though in this instance it would not have mattered- I was basically delirious from dehydration and not able to make good decisions. I self diagnosed panic attacks after 3 wasted trips to the ER when I was much younger. So I did know it wasn't that but something physical. Those times they gave me nitro pills (which are very bad for you if you are not having a heart attack), then saline for dehydration. So emts in 3 out of 4 experiences did not know the difference. The heat stroke they didn't do that just started saline in the ambulance. Probably having saline bags and the skill to administer would be a good addition. I mostly resigned myself to prevention and being okay with the consequences of no treatment. If I don't get off cigarettes its probably a when not if scenario. Symptoms vary alot too; not everyone gets the sledgehammer in the chest feeling.

Apparently someone downvoted this post. I wonder why.

I haven't posted to one of these in a while. And tbh it is not really Friday anymore.
I've been sleeping too much. And too little. Sad in my heart and tired in my brain. Wishing for something else. No complaints. I miss my home. I miss snacking on plantains. I miss my cats. I heard one went muerto while I've been away. I am saddened by her pain.
I don't really know what has got me so blue. And I don't know what keeps bringing me back. I just want to make the most of my existence before it all goes black.

How do you check yourself out to rule out a cardiac event? I've thought of stocking a pulse oximeter and potentially a blood pressure monitor, but I'm not sure what else I should consider.

A few years ago I suffered heat exhaustion, borderline heat stroke, thought it might be a cardiac event so opted for an ambulance over an uber. Expensive error. But I learned that cops automatically accompany ambulances around here. It turned out okay, they were just superfluous which is best case scenario. So I guess now I will never call an ambulance for myself and will have to make a snap judgement if it ever comes up that I might have to call one for someone else.

This incident really taught me about the downside of passion. Passion and investment make people 's opinions worth a damn but also endanger them. Compare this to the sheer amount of raddle users who didn't even delete their accounts but merely faded away.

So I guess recently I just witnessed my first dramatic event of Raddle. It was not pleasant.

What the hell happened on that forum? I don't understand. Just discovered those posts now, what happened?

i think at issue (not speaking for anyone but myself right now) is that there aren't necessarily lessons to be learned in the specific details of what happened. this is a problem of reactions, not really content.

i would not call what happened over the past few days a failure of mediation, or even an attempt at mediation.
mediation is a guided conversation between two people and an uninvolved third person. and only those three (or however many people are involved) and no one else. the very setup of raddle makes mediation difficult, if not impossible.

Thank you for responding and telling me; I don't know nearly as much as I thought, and so I removed my writing. Maybe an account of the situation (which is impossible anyway) isn't so desirable as reflection? I'm not sure, but I still have hope we can learn something from this.

you have things mixed together from two different posts one of which was not a problem at all, its very misleading, I would prefer there not be an account of this at all.
edit: let me state I wouldnt have a problem with an accurate account say if someone archived what was said. However that didnt happen so any account is going to be wildly innaccurate and since I am involved I would prefer either an accurate account or none at all.
obviously you can do as you will but thats my piece.

Thank you: I've changed it so far to reflect the uncertainty of the cause of bloodrose's account being deleted. I see about the implied cause and why it was problematic, and hopefully the edit is sufficient to fix it.
This is just my understanding from a few snippets of information though. If you think I have anything else totally wrong then say so, but otherwise I would encourage you to write your own account of the situation. I don't wish to defend the idea of "raddle court", but hopefully we can learn from this and remember what not to do the next time something like it happens.

i do not think this is an accurate description of what happened, in particular the (implied or inferred) cause of BR deleting her account.
but i also agree that "raddle court" is not something that's ever likely to be a useful way of resolving conflict.

agreed. having to learn anything through endless compulsory tasks and attendance is really no fun.

I have my doubts about anyone caring to read these months later. Maybe let's just stop taking things to raddle court.

Tricky, but a good idea if we're able to make it work?

I found a sexy adult novel called Wifey, written by Judy Blume, iconic YA author who I read a lot as a teen and was deeply moved by as a young brain ... Now I'm all grown up I'm ready for Blume 2.0
